Question:

Does anybody now how to get the tubes to be evenly spaced alone the stroke curve (like a fence)?

Answer:

Make both tubeRand ( under tubes->create ) and the brush width zero. If you still have problems, you can play with the sample density on the stroke node( and also adjust the tubesPerStep accordingly ).

Addition from goesb:  I think it's highly important to also mention that the placement of the CV's on each Paint FX Base curve is very important. If you have your CV's not distributed uniformly over the entire curve, you will notice an uneven distribution of Tubes. I tried the Sample density, Smoothing etc. to remedy this problem, and finally realized that moving the CV's worked well.
